Things are settling down...not sure that's good!

So, another friendly phone call. I can't do it...I can't be detached...I just can't!!!

I called to check in with the boys. H and I talked for several minutes about S6's school...behavior issue and grades on his rhyming words paper last week. Then I talked to both boys. When H got back on the phone, he said, "I have to be at work at 8:30 in the morning. But, I'll be a little early getting to your house. If you want we can look at the toy book and see what S6 picked out for his birthday so we can decide what to get." I said, "Okay." H said, "I won't use my key. I'll knock. By the way, this is the 2nd Wednesday night that I've left your outside light on at the house." I said, "I know. Thanks for that." He said, "You are welcome. Goodnight."

The light comment was meant to catch me...it did. So, he knows I'm home. I'm so not good at these games! But, he also wanted me to praise him for remembering to the leave the light on for me. I think his primary LL is words of affirmation. That's probably the one I was the least good at cause it matters to me the least of all!!! I've been trying to do better...but, I honestly didn't think about the light. It was nice...not to come home to a dark house.

Oh, well! No excitement. I guess I should try not calling again...that was fun!!!

Hope everyone's having a good night!
